Carlo Tavecchio has insisted that he will continue to fight for the FIGC presidency, despite calls for him to stand down.

The chief of the Amateur game in Italy is going up against Demetrio Albertini to replace Giancarlo Abete for the top job in Calcio.

However, his favourite tag was quickly quashed over the weekend after he made racist remarks.

Despite several clubs publically backing down from their support for Tavecchio, the 71-year-old has claimed that he will still run for President of the Federation.

“I’ll go ahead with my candidacy for FIGC President,” he briefly told reporters.

“As long as I have the support of all four Leagues.”
